The excitement for the evening had been growing, and even though I was nervous, there was a tiny bit of thrill in me.I felt a rare sensation of confidence as I stood in front of the mirror, smoothing the fabric of the gorgeous dress Kylo had surprisingly chosen for me. The dress had beautiful embroidery that caught the light in an intriguing way, and it was a deep emerald green color. It fit me like a glove and flared out at the hips, making me look nearly royal. I smiled at the reflection, pleased with how it transformed me.Jasmin, my ever-loyal friend, stood by my side, admiring my outfit. "You look stunning, Varya. You’re going to knock them dead tonight," she said, her eyes gleaming with excitement."Thanks, Jas."

The event started to take on a life of its own as the evening went on. People moved between groups, striking up lively conversations and establishing relationships. I noticed that I was circling around the group, attempting to strike a balance between being there and avoiding unwelcome interactions.It wasn’t long before Grandpa Cassian found me. He approached with a group of distinguished-looking gentlemen, his presence commanding respect as always. "Gentlemen, may I introduce you to my daughter-in-law, Varya. She’s part of the marketing department at the Cassian Group."The men looked at me, their attitudes varying from inquisitiveness to sincere interest.

The room was filled with the sound of discussion mingling with the clinking of drinks, the chandeliers sparkling, and the laughing of longtime friends resonating.

Grandpa was right as usual; he had insisted on this gathering to strengthen our business ties. Everyone appeared to be having fun, and the energy was overwhelming.However, tonight was different in some way.

VARYA’S POVI was standing in front of the mirror, taking a one-hundredth look at the way my dress was falling. The gorgeous midnight-blue gown fit my body flawlessly, its understated yet exquisite style radiating the confidence I wished to have this evening.It was a historic night—my first public acknowledgment since I joined the Cassian Group. Finally, my efforts in the marketing department had paid off, and I was going to be recognized with an award. My pulse raced from the excitement that rose up inside of me; it felt unreal."Are you ready?" I snapped out of my reverie as I heard Jasmin's voice resound from the doorway. As she entered the room, her gaze followed every inch of me."You look stunning, Varya."I smiled, feeling a wave of gratitude for her constant support. "Thank you, Jasmin. I just hope everything goes smoothly.""It will," she assured me, her smile radiating warmth. "You deserve this recognition."Don't let it be taken from you." I felt a bit uneasy in my stomach

I woke up the next morning with a knot of anxiety in my stomach. My thoughts kept going back to the award presentation like it was a bad dream. I was hollowed out by Tia's smug countenance, the murmur of the throng, and the uncertainty she had sowed. The team will be confirming Tia's statements today. I hated the process, but I had to go through it.Jasmin scooped me up, a determined expression on her face. “We’ll get through this, Varya. Don’t let Tia’s lies shake you.”I nodded, trying to muster the strength to believe her. “I know, but what if—”“No what-ifs,” she interrupted firmly. “You’ve worked too hard to let someone like Tia destroy your reputation.”There was tension in the air as we got to the workplace. Previously kind and encouraging co-workers now cast me indifferent looks. Even though I could hear the muttering as I passed, I refused to display any weakness by keeping my head up.The crew had convened in the conference room to deliberate on the verification procedure, s

One of the longest days of my life was the day Kylo and Dora went to the well-attended event as an official couple. I got back to my office, acting as if I was working but my mind kept on wandering about them being together.Of course, it wasn’t my first time seeing them being so familiar with each other within the public eye but somehow today it felt otherwise.Dora had ensured that they rubbed this in my face, over the past few days, showing me how close she is with him. It made me want to pull her down from the heavens and snap Kylo’s calming, superior look away from her.The worst thing was jealousy, which gnawed me from the inside as if I were a piece of meat with the best tenders taken away. I was confused. Why did I get worked up over it? If seeing them together caused physical pain, what exactly did it signify?This haunted me all day, as day was turning into evening, and I could not get the image out of my mind. My level of annoyance rose and reached a point that I could not

KYLO’S POVOn that day of the event, Dora was mostly full of smiles and touches by holding onto my arm as we entered the venue. The epitome of the loyal spouse but I was distracted.My thoughts kept drifting to Varya and the look on her face when she knew Dora and I were going out together. There was something in her eyes I couldn't quite place—hurt, maybe? Or was it jealousy?I dismissed the thought and tried to concentrate on what lay ahead of me that evening. As darkness deepened into itself, my body moved automatically from one emotionless effort to another; some nods were given and polite smiles offered yet the recollection of Varya persisted in haunting my mental meanderings.When we finally got home, I was relieved. The event had been long, and Dora's constant presence was starting to grate on my nerves. As we stepped out of the car, I noticed another vehicle pulling up…Varya.But she wasn’t alone. There was a strange guy who was assisting her out of the vehicle, his hand holdi

VARYA’S POVI was still panting when I came out of the kitchen after that aggressive conversation with Kylo. His jealousy was quite unexpected and gave me some trouble getting past the feelings that were running through me; the burning look in his eyes and the manner in which they observed me was too much.I wanted a place where I could be alone with myself and my thoughts.Thankfully I walked down the hall with the intention of getting some rest in my room but the quiet wasn’t lasting for long. But when I turned the corner, Dora and Cassandra were standing right in front of me, and they did not look happy to see me at all They looked at me with scorn and anger in their eyes – I knew it was going to be bad.“Well, well, well,” Dora muttered as she placed her hands on her bust and fixed them into a system of folding it across."See who made the decision." to show up."Cassandra mirrored her stance, her eyes narrowing.
